      Pros

      They are in business today and likley to be tommorow

      Cons

      The company is run by an Idiocracy. Ego centric people who do shameless self promotion nad polititcs whie not doing self critisim - They are are happy to steel credit for good work and critisize the rank and file employees who are working their hearts out. HR is a sham- They say they are supporting the employees while they are really only the police to protect the egos on the top. There is no career guidance and management of the company's most important human assets that are not considered within the top 20%, (the bulk of the employees)

      Pros

      they have wonderfrul medical and dental benefits. Microsoft is also a very secure place to work and for those who are into a safe employers without weath generation will find working at Microsoft satisfying. The other great thing about Microsoft is that one can move around the company into new areas and learn several different business throughout their career at the company. Most of the people at the company are also fairly intelligent.

      Cons

      Very politcal environment and the overall upside potential for ambitious employees makes it not a very attractive or lucrative opportunity

      Working for an empire

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary is near the market average, lower than in smaller software companies, but this gets compensated by a very good job security and a excellent benefits package. The working environment is quite good, in general there are a quite remarkable good humor, and management is reasonable, excellent in occasions.

      Cons

      With time, it become quite political in the decision making, and too big, so a lot of processes are too difficult to get through. There is also this incredible amount of middle management who feels compelled to ask for information all of the time. They always show up in the photo when something goes well.
